Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Just after she got down from the foot of the mountain, and hadn't walked a few dozen meters, the villagers on the road ran over to greet her in shock:

"Zhao Di? Are you going to the back mountain again?"

"Oh my goodness, is this a wild boar? It must weigh more than 300 kilograms. What is that? A wild deer? The antlers are surprisingly intact."

"Oh my God, hurry up and go to Old Lin's house and call Old Man and Old Lady Lin over."

"Yes, yes, this Zhaodi girl is incredible. After getting hurt, she becomes extremely strong. Several of us grown men don't dare to go to the back mountain, but she actually brought back so many big guys from the back mountain."

"Zhao Di, you must be tired, can your uncle help you pull for a while?"

"Yeah, yeah, we're strong enough to help you drag the wild boar back to Lao Lin's house."

……

Ting He couldn't resist the kindness of the villagers, so he asked a few uncles to help him drag the things back to Lao Lin's house.

I thought that someone as greedy and mean as Mrs. Lin would definitely be happy, but as soon as I arrived at the door, Mrs. Lin hit Tinghe on the butt with a feather duster, making her scream. Tinghe made all kinds of promises to Mrs. Lin with an unhappy face, and only then was she kindly let go.

After listening to Ting He's opinion, Old Lady Lin asked the village chief to gather the villagers and sold wild boar meat to the state-owned villagers at the lowest price. The wild deer were not touched. Instead, she asked Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Lin to clean up the wild deer, borrowed the village chief's ox cart and sent it directly to the town to exchange for some silver.

The villagers did not move. They thought it was a blessing from heaven that they could get a few kilograms of wild boar meat, enough for them to eat for a long time, with the least amount of money. They lined up to buy three or five kilograms of meat to take home.

After all the villagers left, Old Mrs. Lin specially took out dozens of kilograms of meat, gave ten kilograms to the village chief, and gave five kilograms of meat to each of her two daughters-in-law to take home. Aunt Wang happily picked up the meat and hung it in the well water, preparing to deliver it to her parents' home in the afternoon.

However, Liu frowned and glared at Tinghe with displeasure, then looked at the big fat pig weighing more than 300 kilograms, which had been divided into only more than 100 kilograms. As Zhaodi's biological mother, she only got 5 kilograms of meat. If her parents knew that she only got 5 kilograms out of hundreds of kilograms of meat, they would scold her to death.

It's all Zhaodi's fault. She brought back the rabbits and wild boars, but they sold them for so much money and didn't give her any money. Her uncle's family is so close to her. The more than 300 kilograms of meat should have been sent to her mother's family, instead of only sending the five kilograms after deducting the money. It's simply too much. Zhaodi, this stinky girl, why didn't she knock her head to death? Knock to death? Demons and ghosts? ? ? Could it be that her well-behaved Zhaodi had died a long time ago, and now it was demons, evil spirits, and monsters that took over? It must be like this, it must be like this.

Liu turned around and looked at Ting He with a sinister look, which made her whole body go hairy. She stared back in confusion, but in order to avoid trouble, she secretly pulled Mrs. Lin's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, mother is staring at me like a ghost, I'm scared."

Old Mrs. Lin was enjoying counting copper coins when she was interrupted by Lin Zhaodi. She glared at her unhappily, then looked up at the second son's wife, Liu. She was immediately filled with anger and cursed:

"What are you looking at? This is all public money. This fat pig was brought back by Zhaodi. It's for the money of all the Lin family. Don't look at Zhaodi like that. I've done my best to give you five pounds of meat to take back to your parents' home. Don't dream that the whole pig belongs to your second brother. If you don't like these five pounds of meat, don't go. I won't give you a single piece of meat. Put away your evil look. If you keep looking at Zhaodi like that, I'll divorce you on behalf of my second brother and let you live in your parents' home as long as you want."

Liu really forced a smile, picked up the pork and left quickly. There was no need to guess where she went, she must have been in a hurry to rush to her parents' home to deliver the meat.

Ting He curled his lips and didn't argue with Liu. Instead, he focused his attention on the pork. He quickly went back to the room to get out a few ingredients, quietly put them into the pot, and added some flavor to the pork. However, he was afraid that everyone might not know how to eat chili peppers because they had never tasted them, so he used dogwood instead to add some spiciness.

Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin happily gathered together counting copper coins, with laughter audible from time to time. Old Lady Lin also happily lit three incense sticks for the ancestors, saying over and over again that she was grateful for the blessings of the ancestors. The silly girl Zhaodi kowtowed her head once and became fully refreshed. Not only did her body get better, she also gained the ability to catch prey. She was almost the same as the ancestors of the Lin family. It must be the blessing of the ancestors.

Aunt Wang was stewing meat in the kitchen while eating it secretly. She looked at the strange little ingredients and didn't know what they were. She wanted to pick them out and throw them away. However, she thought that as long as it didn't kill anyone, it would be fine, so she secretly ate a piece of wild boar meat again.

"Hmm~ What's that smell? It's so numb and hot. It burns my mouth. Mom, mom, come quickly. There's something wrong with this pork."

Just as Old Lady Lin finished burning the incense, she heard her eldest daughter-in-law shouting, mumbling and scolding:

"You can't eat fine bran, and you're making such a fuss over stewing meat. You're useless."

After tasting the stewed meat, Old Lady Lin chewed it for a long time before she spoke:

"You ignorant thing, isn't this just dogwood? What do you mean it's hot? It's obviously spicy. You look like you've never seen anything good before. You're simply too shameless to watch. Go and light the fire and let it stew for a while."

Ting He looked at Old Lady Lin in shock and asked quietly:

"Grandma, how do you know this is dogwood?"

Old Lady Lin slapped her and said:

"When your grandma was young, she was well-known for her ability and her cooking skills. She was known as the spicy little cook. This dogwood was originally just an exotic flower grown in the homes of rich families for people to admire. It was only after your grandma's chef discovered that it could be used in cooking that it gained this spicy taste. Later, after your grandma married your grandpa, she no longer showed up in public. She has been in Linjia Village for decades. Oh, grandma is old now. You little ones, there are things you haven't seen or tasted. You really have stayed in Linjia Village for too long... too long..."

Ting He nodded thoughtfully, watching Old Lady Lin return to the house, and had a plan in mind.

At noon, everyone happily ate a delicious stew. Everyone was eating with oil dripping from their mouths. Old Mrs. Lin said at the table:

"Zhao Di, I took the meat you brought back and sold it cheaply to the villagers. You won't blame me, will you? I also want to take the money to the town to send some to your uncle to taste the meat, and leave some money for him to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone. I know that you will feel uncomfortable taking your money from the government, but I promise you that if your uncle has a bright future, you will be the biggest contributor, and I will make your uncle return this money double. What do you think? I plan to wait for your uncle and your father to come back from selling the wild deer, and then take the meat and money to send some to your uncle. Do you want to come with us?"
